How to replace mint in lemonade

Mint is an optional, but highly desirable, ingredient in lemonade. A sprig of the fragrant herb can be used as a garnish, but you can also work it vigorously during preparation to maximize the flavor.

If you don't have mint but still want the refreshing effect of lemonade, don't worry, there are always alternatives.

First of all, it's a great replacement for mint - MelissaThese are very similar plants, but lemon balm has a less pronounced aroma and flavor. It's not as intense as mint, but still quite pleasant.

You can buy mint liqueur and syrup at the store. You don't need much of either, so even if you're craving lemonade in the middle of the night and don't have any mint, mint liqueur will come in handy. You can also use syrup, but in that case, it's best to omit the sugar in the recipe.

And the ultimate homemade life hack: add a few mints to your lemonade. The effect will last even after the mints dissolve.
